CONCEPT GROUNDING
Communication has since been increasingly global, blurring national boundaries. The ability to
communicate effectively in a global setting can be a challenge. Hence, to effectively communicate in a
global context, a general understanding of the differences in conducting communication from one country to
another or from one culture to another helps avoid miscommunication.
People's background and experiences influence their view of the world and the values, beliefs and behavior
patterns assumed to be good. The following are possible cultural barriers to effective communication in a
global environment:
1. Cultural relativism
2. Lack of knowledge of others' culture
3. Discrimination and harassment
4. Language differences
To get the desired or response, the above barriers must be properly addressed. It is the responsibility of the
parties involved in the communication process to eliminate the possible hindrances in their exchange. The
goal of effective global communication is to achieve communication that gets the desired response leading
to harmonious connections. Krizan (2014) suggests these strategies to become an effective global
communicator:
1. Review communication principles.
2. Analyze the message receiver
3. Be open to an accepting of other cultures.
4. Learn about cultures and apply what is learned.
5. Consider language needs.
